Reliable and efficient navigation with a humanoid robot is a difficult task. First, the motion commands are executed rather inaccurately due to backlash in the joints or foot slipp...
A method of regrasp planning for humanoid robot manipulation is proposed. We adopt pivoting manipulation for the humanoid robot to move a bulky object without lifting in a stable a...
We present an efficient approach to self-collision detection suitable for complex articulated robots such as humanoids. Preventing self-collisions is vital for the safe operation ...
